CNN Political Market: Webb to Be Obama's VP?

According to the CNN Political Market, Jim Webb now trails only "Other" in response to the question, "Who will Obama choose as his VP nominee?"  Right now, it's:

Other: $39.51
Jim Webb: $24.55
Hillary Clinton: $14.94
Kathleen Sebelius: $8.78
Bill Richardson: $6.10
Joe Biden: $3.26
Evan Bayh: $1.89
Chuck Hagel: $0.58
Chris Dodd: $0.36

Of course, there are several other potential VP picks, including Tim Kaine, Mark Warner, Ted Strickland, John Edwards, Janet Napolitano, Tom Daschle, Wes Clark, Claire McCaskill, even Mike Bloomberg.  But right now, Webb trails only "other" on CNN's "Political Market."

Just for fun, I checked intrade, and Webb is neck and neck with Clinton (both trail the tough-to-beat "Other"):

Other: 30.0
Clinton: 19.0
Webb: 18.5
Richardson: 8.3
Warner: 6.5
Edwards: 5.0

What do these prediction markets mean?  Maybe not a great deal, although they're increasingly popular.  Still, there does seem to be sentiment out there that agrees with our view on Raising Kaine: Jim Webb would be the best running mate for Barack Obama.

By the way, over the past few weeks, I've seen some seriously ridiculous nonsense written about Jim Webb (he's a "misogynist," he's a terrible speaker, etc.) on the blogs and elsewhere. If you disagree with the critics and agree with us that Webb would make a superb VP for Barack Obama, please sign our petition.  Thanks.

P.S.  Oh, almost forgot to mention; the RK poll we ran the past couple of day on whether Obama should pick Clinton as his running mate ended up as follows:
